Via ferrata Luigi Veronesi

Climbing the Via Ferrata Luigi Veronesi, rated B/C, offers a magnificent and accessible alpine experience near Riva del Garda. The trail typically starts from the parking area near the Malga Grassi, with a pleasant approach through the woods leading you to the base of the rock face.

The ferrata itself is a well-maintained and enjoyable ascent. The B/C grading means it's moderately challenging – you'll encounter some steep sections, exposed traverses, and a few vertical ladders or pegs, but it's always well-secured with thick steel cables and ample handholds. It doesn't present extreme technical difficulties, making it suitable for beginners with good physical condition and no fear of heights, or for those looking for a step up from easier ferratas.

The true highlight of the Via Ferrata Luigi Veronesi is the breathtaking panorama. As you ascend, the views open up dramatically, offering stunning vistas of Lake Garda shimmering below, the surrounding Brenta Dolomites, and the Valle di Ledro. There are several spots to pause and truly soak in the scenery.

The climb is exhilarating, providing a wonderful sense of accomplishment as you navigate the rock. Once you reach the summit area, often near the Cima Capi or similar viewpoint, the descent typically follows a marked path, sometimes involving another short, easier ferrata section (like the Sentiero Attrezzato Susatti) or a simple hiking trail that loops back towards the starting point, completing a rewarding circuit. Remember to bring appropriate via ferrata equipment (helmet, harness, ferrata set) and plenty of water.
